Dear Teresa,
edgeR handles the situation that you describe automatically without any
need for special action on your behalf. It has always done so, going back
before DESeq and other similar packages existed.
This situation is not mentioned specifically in the edgeR user's guide
because there is no need for any special consideration. It is just
handled organically by the edgeR approach. You just proceed as for any
edgeR analysis.
Best wishes
Gordon

> In this DEseq case only the condition with replicates is considered to compute the dispersion.
